Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 8 Can I See Your Wife?

Xiao Qingqing looked at Lu Jinye from behind and said nothing. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Jinye said, “Come in.”

Mu Zhi first took a glance inside before entering. Then she said, “Mr. Lu, I’d like to ask for leave to visit a friend’s mother at the hospital.”

Lu Jinye raised his eyebrows, looked at Mu Zhi, and instantly nodded his head, “Would you like the driver to send you?”

Mu Zhi could feel Xiao Qingqing’s eyes fixed on her as soon as she entered the room.

“No, no, no, I can just take a cab there myself. The hospital is just nearby too.”

Xiao Qingqing’s gaze made Mu Zhi extremely uncomfortable. Mu Zhi quickly refused Lu Jinye and left.

She actually wanted to leave as soon as she could, but before Mu Zhi could close the office door, she heard Xiao Qingqing whisper into Lu Jinye’s ear, “Jinye, can I meet your wife? I want to thank her for helping you put up an act for so long.”

Her words shocked Mu Zhi. She almost scampered out of the office and ran away, leaving the door to shut loudly by itself, startling the people inside.

Mu Zhi secretly despised herself in her heart when she got into the cab.
